Implementation for accessing CloudWatch
Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources and the applications
you run on AWS in real time. You can use CloudWatch to collect and track metrics,
which are the variables you want to measure for your resources and applications.

CloudWatch alarms send notifications or automatically change the resources you are
monitoring based on rules that you define. For example, you can monitor the CPU usage
and disk reads and writes of your Amazon EC2 instances. Then, use this data to determine
whether you should launch additional instances to handle increased load. You can also
use this data to stop under-used instances to save money.

In addition to monitoring the built-in metrics that come with AWS, you can monitor
your own custom metrics. With CloudWatch, you gain system-wide visibility into resource
utilization, application performance, and operational health.
